BUILDING ASSOCIATION TALK.

BUILDING ASSOCIATION TALK.
Some speculations as to the Merits Of the
Limited" and "Permanent" Systems.
From gentleman connected with
the Yellowstone Building and Loan
Society Of Billings, we learn that the
institution is IN q most fiourishing
condition. 1t Is organized on the
permanent" plan instead Of the "lim-
ited,n as is the Miles City association,
and has now four series OF stock In ex.
istence. At the close Of the December
meeting there we're ATS shares In the
first series, lsS In the second, SO in the
third, aud Al In the fourth, making a
total of S67 shares. The different
series had run respectively l6, IL, s,
and months, and we're worth per
share: First series, $2i.20; second
series, &l8.65; third series, $ll.42, and
fourth series, $3.50. These are big
figures and show conclusively the in
calculable advantages Of these associs-
tions as Q means Of making small
monthly deposits accumulative. The
Billings association had made loans TO
the amount OF si5,450 including the
December meeting.
The Miles City association will. we
think, be found equally prosperous at
the close OF its first year, which occurs
In March. The indications are that
the earnings for the first year will be
40 per cent, which will make shares
on which twelve dollars have been
paid In, worth $3.50. Al this rate OF
earnings, the stock would mature In
about 81 years and for every see paid
In, $500 would be returned. We do
not expect TO see this realized, how
ever, as the eager demand for money
that has thus far kept the premium up
to the maximum Of % per cent, Will
probably slacken. although thus fer It

tion has there been less than twelve
